Haven't heard anything of an official appeal coming from Limerick but if there has been I'd be surprised if we have any grounds to appeal. Yes it affects us and Cork but it was something that happened in another league game so I can't see how we would have a leg to stand on.

The big question limerick fans are asking though, no its not the markets field, nor is it who we are signing for next season. The big question is who will be reffing the game in monaghan in a few weeks.

Shall it be Jimmy McKell (JD appointment, 7 yellows), not fit enough to ref at junior level, who ventured as far north as Athlone last weekend as a trial to see could he find monaghan in a few weeks. From a novice ref to the ref who gets all limericks big games of late. Well connected through patronage

Phil Caschera, the longest unpromoted first division ref in the history of the first division. As a club we have never won a game with him in charge at any level. Last chance to be a prem ref if he performs as instructed on the night

Paul McLoughlin, The derry city supporter, Donegal born, Monaghan based guard who was given some saucy expenses this year reffing games in Limerick and waterford. For a novice ref was given a prem game this season allready.

Conor Fitzgerald, my choice for the game. This GAA style ref (refs from the half way line) Has reffed games in monaghan and Harps before. This totally unfit ref lost out on his chance of getting promoted to the prem panel last week by failing to lose limerick the game at shels (limerick 7 yellow shels 0) Met him in a chip shop getting double portions once in monaghan, would appear to have visited said establishment many times since.

So with this fine selection of ammm officials can we have a prem and eufa qualified ref for this one please

Someone needs to bundle Phil Caschera into the boot of a car and take him somewhere out of harm's way until he's too old to ref any more.

**gael353** · 27/09/2011, 6:20 PM

Phil Caschera has referried one game of Limerick's this year. Ironically, it was against a Galway side, and we won 3-0. Don't just make up "facts". Thank you Sir.

indeed you are correct good sir, salthill twas and made Phil get his first limerick win under his belt. Twas a game that was hard to lose or draw for a fact as salthill were pretty muck to be fair

Phil Caschera is a clown, a potentially costly clown in the context of a promotion push.

Congrats on the pedantry though, you've made the world a richer place.

**bluewhitearmy** · 28/09/2011, 1:24 AM

Well we have to win 2 games before we worry about anyone reffing Monaghan or not anyway...Starting with a very tough game Friday.

**Lim till i die** · 28/09/2011, 1:41 AM

I am WORRIED about Friday.

Everyone seems to be getting ahead of themselves, Mervue aren't garbage like.

A FIVE to ONE saver of my weekend could be in order just in case.

Very nervous about it the only thing that gives me hope is if they come out and attack we should have enough to get at them im praying fro Gaffney to get the goal against his ex club like happens so often.

It should be hard be hard to draw against Salthill, shouldn't it?

What about Graham "I am sexual attracted to penalties" Kelly? He would do a fine job up in Monaghan.

**legendz** · 28/09/2011, 7:45 PM

Monaghan are a good team but I don't think they'll get more than a point out of 6 in their two games against Shels and Cork.

**MagicMon** · 30/09/2011, 8:40 AM

Right, I'm going to go to sleep and wake up on Wednesday, and when I do Monaghan will be 1 point off top spot, and Fabio will have found his shooting boots, and Gemma Arterton will be in the bed next to me.

**BonnieShels** · 30/09/2011, 8:58 AM

Look at you trying to do an Osarusan.

**MagicMon** · 30/09/2011, 9:20 AM

It worked that time didn't it!? And I got about 5 hours sleep last night so I feel like I could sleep till Wednesday.

**razor** · 30/09/2011, 9:46 AM

Torrential down here all morning so far, if it continues much more the Harps game could be in doubt.

**monsexile** · 30/09/2011, 11:03 AM

Off on safari for two weeks from tomorrow so will miss most of the run-in; a win tonight would be the perfect send-off. Two draws would be good results isolation but you can't really afford to drop too many points at this stage even away to Shels and Cork. Mons at 7/2 on bet 365 worth a flutter as is Sean Brennan at 11s on Paddy Power to be first scorer.

What are you basing that on?

Mons record against Cork and Shels is very solid (P4 W1 D2 L1), and they are unbeaten against them both away from home.

**Jofspring** · 30/09/2011, 12:10 PM

I'm getting the feeling we could be looking at 3 draws tonight. Finn Harps will want to make up for the beating they got down there earlier in the year and are on a decent run. Mervue will be tricky for us and Shels vs Mons will be tight.
